As much as I hate the thought of more GUCs, until we have a solid performance profile for synch scan we probably need them. You should include the option to turn synch_scan off, such as by setting synch_scan_threshold to -1. Oh, and remember that these now need to be able to take K/MB/GB. These options should probably go in postgresql.conf under QUERY TUNING, with their own sub-head. -- --Josh Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
